2. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 |
Black art \Black" art`\
The art practiced by conjurers and witches; necromancy;
conjuration; magic.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This name was given in the Middle Ages to necromancy,
under the idea that the latter term was derived from
niger black, instead of nekro`s, a dead person, and
mantei`a, divination. --Wright.
[1913 Webster]

3. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
black art
n.
[common] A collection of arcane, unpublished, and (by implication) mostly
ad-hoc techniques developed for a particular application or systems area
(compare black magic). VLSI design and compiler code optimization were
(in their beginnings) considered classic examples of black art; as theory
developed they became deep magic, and once standard textbooks had been
written, became merely heavy wizardry. The huge proliferation of formal
and informal channels for spreading around new computer-related
technologies during the last twenty years has made both the term black art
and what it describes less common than formerly. See also voodoo
programming.
